Com o aumento do consumo e a limitação de recursos da Natureza, a reciclagem tem-se tornado uma necessidade, que é melhor viabilizada pela implantação da coleta seletiva. Para implantar a coleta seletiva é preciso que se desenvolva na sociedade uma cultura de reciclagem, para gerar resíduos sólidos recicláveis que permitam sua reinserção no ciclo produtivo, como matéria-prima. Na cidade de Presidente Prudente, Estado de São Paulo, Brasil, foi adotada uma estratégia de articulação social, que mobilizou diferentes instituições, a fim de construir a sustentabilidade ambiental no município, por meio da educação ambiental, junto à população, e implantação da coleta seletiva, a partir da inserção de catadores de resíduos do lixão em uma cooperativa de trabalhadores de produtos recicláveis. A pesquisa teve como objetivos: identificar o modelo de relação que foi estabelecido entre o grupo surgido da sociedade e a cooperativa, de forma a contemplar as diferentes necessidades sociais e que, ao mesmo tempo, legitimasse a implantação da coleta seletiva e da educação ambiental da população; discussão das dimensões sociais do trabalho nas cidades e dos desafios da sua precarização; discussão da dimensão entre trabalho e meio ambiente e da evolução social dos resíduos na demanda para a construção da sustentabilidade ambiental em Presidente Prudente; apresentação da institucionalização do Grupo de Apoiadores e dos desafios para a autogestão na Cooperlix; o processo de formação e a consolidação do Grupo de Apoiadores; e registro das trajetórias do Grupo de Apoiadores e da Cooperlix, ao longo de 15 anos, da criação de ambos, até a celebração do contrato entre a cooperativa e o poder público municipal. A hipótese adotada é que foi preciso engendrar-se um modelo de relacionamento que possibilitasse ao Grupo de Apoiadores dar suporte ao dia a dia da Cooperlix, a fim de evitar a sua paralisia ou o seu colapso, enquanto ela não conseguisse sustentar-se. Quanto aos resultados, foi identificado que o modelo de relação desenvolvido, a partir do modelo de gestão do Grupo de Apoiadores e da cooperativa, foi inclusivo e democrático junto às diferentes instituições existentes na sociedade, fundamentado no Cooperativismo, na Autogestão e na Economia Solidária, além de engendrar uma organização do trabalho que acolhia toda e qualquer instituição pública ou privada que desejasse participar, bem como contribuir para que a cooperativa oferecesse um território que abrigasse os catadores do lixão, o descarte seletivo de resíduos sólidos e a prática de educação ambiental pela reciclagem. O modelo identificado deriva da relação recíproca de interdependência entre Grupo de Apoiadores e Cooperlix. A representação é inovadora, porque mostra como pessoas comuns podem, coletivamente, tornar-se protagonistas de transformações sociais em larga escala. / The challenge to give a suitable destination to municipal solid waste (MSW) requires the mobilization of the whole society, as humans generate an increasing amount of waste. With the increase in consumption and the limited nature of resources, recycling has become a necessity, which is possible making the implementation of selective collection. To deploy the selective collection it is necessary to develop in society a culture of recycling to generate recyclable solid waste to enable their reintegration into the production cycle as raw material. In the city of Presidente Prudente, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, a social joint strategy was adopted, which mobilized different institutions in order to build environmental sustainability in the city, through environmental education among the population, and implementation of selective collection, from entering landfill waste pickers in a recyclables workers cooperative. The research aimed to: identify the relationship model that has been established between the emerged group of society and the cooperative in order to contemplate the different social needs and at the same time, legitimated the implementation of selective collection and population environmental education; discussion of the social dimensions of work in the cities and the challenges of its precariousness; discussion of the dimension between labor and the environment and social development of waste in demand for the construction of environmental sustainability in Presidente Prudente; presentation of the institutionalization of the supporters group and the challenges to ownership in Cooperlix; the process of formation and consolidation of the supporters group; and record of the supporters group and Cooperlix trajectories over 15 years of the both creation, until of the contract conclusion between the cooperative and the municipal government. The adopted hypothesis is that was necessary to engender a relationship model that would allow the supporters group to support the Cooperlix day-to-day in order to avoid its paralysis or collapse, as it could not sustain itself. For the results, it was identified that the developed relationship model, of the supporters group and the cooperative management model, was inclusive and democratic along the different society institutions, based on Cooperative Model, Self-Management, and Solidarity Economy, besides engendering an organization of work that welcomed any public or private institution who wished to participate and contribute to the cooperative should offer a territory that housed the landfill scavengers, solid waste selective disposal, and the environmental education by recycling practice. The model identified derives from the mutual interdependence between group of supporters and Cooperlix. Representation is innovative because it shows how ordinary people can collectively become protagonists of social change on a large scale.

Paul Singer entende que existam, basicamente, duas lógicas de condução das atividades econômicas: a capitalista cujas características são a competição, individualismo, exploração do trabalho e a desigualdade gerada pelo jogo da livre concorrência, sendo a reprodução de tal lógica assegurada pelo modelo de propriedade privada e heterogestão; e a lógica de Economia Solidária cujas características são a cooperação, solidariedade, participação e igualdade, sendo a reprodução dessa lógica possível através do modelo de autogestão e propriedade coletiva. Assim, Singer entende que o sentido do trabalho autogerido está determinado por um conjunto de princípios (cooperação, solidariedade, participação e igualdade) objetivados no modelo de autogestão. Critica-se essa perspectiva por desconsiderar o papel criativo e reflexivo dos indivíduos na construção do sentido do seu trabalho e, também, por afirmar que o modelo de autogestão só poderia ser “verdadeiramente” conduzido através de princípios de Economia Solidária. Em contraposição, esta pesquisa buscou compreender o sentido do trabalho autogerido como uma construção reflexiva do sujeito, a partir de princípios e conhecimentos de natureza diversa, que se sedimentaram no seu estoque subjetivo de conhecimento ao longo de sua biografia de socialização. Com base na fundamentação empírica de 28 entrevistas estruturadas realizadas com trabalhadores de cinco cooperativas, identificaram-se quatro tipos de sentido do trabalho autogerido: 1) político – o sentido do trabalho autogerido é que ele representa a possibilidade de participação em um processo de mudança da realidade social; 2) coletivista – o sentido do trabalho autogerido é que ele representa a possibilidade da promoção do bem-estar e da qualidade de vida dos membros do coletivo de trabalho; 3) capitalista – o trabalho autogerido só tem sentido se servir de meio para inserção competitiva no mercado visando ao lucro como um fim em si mesmo; 4) sobrevivência individual – o trabalho autogerido representa uma saída, na falta de uma melhor, para manutenção da sobrevivência material e financeira. As diferenças entre os sentidos do trabalho autogerido são explicados a luz das diferenças em seis dimensões (família, trabalho, política, sindicato, educação e religião) nas biografias de socialização dos trabalhadores. / In Paul Singer’s understanding, there are essentially two logics guiding economic activities: the capitalist one, characterized by competition, individualism, labor exploitation and inequalities generated by the game of free competition – the reproduction of such logics being ensured by private property and the “hetero-management” model; and the logics of Solidary Economy whose characteristics are cooperation, solidarity, participation and equality – the reproduction of this logic being possible by means of collective property and the selfmanagement model. Thus, Singer understands that the meaning of the self-managed labor is determined by a set of principles (cooperation, solidarity, participation and equality) objectified in the self-management model. We criticize this perspective for disregarding the creative and reflective role of individuals in building up their labor’s meaning and, also, for claiming that the self-management model might only be “truly” conducted within the principles of Solidary Economy. Contradicting such perspective, this study sought to comprehend the meaning of selfmanaged work while a reflective construction by the individual subject, based on both principles and knowledge of diverse character, which were consolidated within the subjective stock of knowledge along his/her biography of socialization. Based on the empirical foundation comprised by 28 structured interviews applied to workers of five cooperative enterprises, we identified four categories of meaning related to the self-managed work: 1) politic – the meaning of self-managed work is that it represents the possibility of participating in a process for changing the social reality; 2) collectivist – the meaning of the self-managed work is that it represents the possibility of promoting the welfare and the quality of life of members of the labor group; 3) capitalist - the self-managed work only makes sense if it serves as a means for competitive entry in the market aiming at profit as an end itself; 4) individual survival – the selfmanaged work represents a resort, in the absence of a better one, for the maintenance of material and financial survival. The differences between meanings of self-managed labor are explained in the light of six dimensions of distinctions (family, work, politics, labor union, education and religion) in the worker’s biography of socialization.

abstract: ABSTRACT The population of older adults in the United States is growing disproportionately, with corresponding medical, social and economic implications. The number of Americans 65 years and older constitutes 13.7% of the U.S. population, and is expected to grow to 21% by 2040. As the adults age, they are at risk for developing chronic illness and disability. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 5.7 million Americans have heart failure, and almost 80% of these are 65 years and older. The prevalence of heart failure will increase with the increase in aging population, thus increasing the costs associated with heart failure from 34.7 billion dollars in 2010 to 77.7 billion dollars by 2020. Of all cardiovascular hospitalizations, 28.9% are due to heart failure, and almost 60,000 deaths are accounted for heart failure. Marked disparities in heart failure persist within and between population subgroups. Living with heart failure is challenging for older adults, because being a chronic condition, the responsibility of day to day management of heart failure principally rests with patient. Approaches to improve self-management are targeted at adherence, compliance, and physiologic variables, little attention has been paid to personal and social contextual resources of older adults, crucial for decision making, and purposeful participation in goal attainment, representing a critical area for intervention. Several strategies based on empowerment perspective are focused on outcomes; paying less attention to the process. To address these gaps between research and practice, this feasibility study was guided by a tested theory, the Theory of Health Empowerment, to optimize self-management, functional health and well-being in older adults with heart failure. The study sample included older adults with heart failure attending senior centers. Specific aims of this feasibility study were to: (a) examine the feasibility of the Health Empowerment Intervention in older adults with heart failure, (b) evaluate the effect of the health empowerment intervention on self-management, functional health, and well-being among older adults with heart failure. The Health Empowerment Intervention was delivered focusing on strategies to identify and building upon self-capacity, and supportive social network, informed decision making and goal setting, and purposefully participating in the attainment of personal health goals for well-being. Study was feasible and significantly increased personal growth, and purposeful participation in the attainment of personal health goals. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Nursing and Healthcare Innovation 2017

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / Diabetes is a chronic, metabolic disease that requires lifelong medical management, health education and self-management. According to a World Health Organisation report, there is a global increase in the prevalence of diabetes and even more so in the low-and middle-income countries, specifically Nigeria, which has the highest number of people with diabetes in the African region of the World Health Organisation. As a global issue, the positive health outcomes of diabetes are tied to health education and self-management of the disease and using the health resources of nations. However, in the context of limited resources in Nigeria, there is a need for improvement of health education in self-management of Type 2 diabetes. Health education that is provided in some Nigerian health facilities is reported to be unstructured, without patients’ active participation, not tailored to the needs and the interests of the patients and limited collaboration between multi-disciplinary professionals. In this context, the aim of the study was to develop a structured health education programme for self-management of patients with Type 2 diabetes, to facilitate the quality of the lives of these patients .An adapted intervention mapping framework provided a structured process for development of an evidenced based programme. A mixed method approach was followed. In the first phase of the study an exploratory descriptive qualitative research design was followed. A purposive sampling approach was used in selecting (i) participants, who were patients with Type 2 diabetes and (ii) health-care professionals working in two health-care institutions in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria. In phase 1, Step1 of the research was a situation analysis, which consisted of conducting 30 semi-structured interviews with patients; observation of nurses providing health education; and five focus group discussions with health-care professionals (nurses, dieticians and social workers). Qualitative data analysis was accomplished through using Tesch’s (1990) steps of analysis to identify themes and categories. The situation analysis revealed, firstly, that there was a lack in the knowledge and self-management of Type 2 diabetes among patients. Secondly, that the health-care professionals acknowledged their collective role in health education and were burdened with the patients who were non-adherent to self-management. The result also revealed the necessity to change from a traditional teaching method to a structured educational process that is patient-centred. The second phase of the research was the stage of developing the educational programme through collaboration with the stakeholders (health-care professionals and patients with Type 2 diabetes) using the findings from the data-analysis of the first phase supported with literature. In phase 2, Step 2 was to develop matrices from the data analysis in Phase 1 for the programme. Step 3 added theory-based intervention methods and practical applications to the preliminary program and in Step 4 the programme was described. This was followed in Step 5 by preparing health-care professionals for offering the programme to patients and implementing and evaluating the programme. The evaluation of the programme was by means of a quantitative pilot study in which a pre-post-test in a quasi-experiment was conducted with 28 patients and qualitative interviews after the program and post intervention interviews with the participants. The evaluation showed that the program was effective in meeting its objectives. In Step 6 a plan for the adoption, implementation, sustainability and evaluation of future implementations was developed.

A tese aqui defendida é que estes Conselhos possuem intrínseco potencial revolucionário, uma vez que superam o trabalho assalariado e a produção de capital - mediante a socialização dos meios de produção - e o Estado enquanto estrutura de dominação própria do sistema sociometabólico do capital e essencial à sua reprodução. Denominando-os como “não-Estado” defende-se, portanto, a tese de que os Conselhos proletários são a antítese dialética do Estado – e não uma forma específica dele -, e por isso, são dotados de efetiva potencialidade disruptiva com o metabolismo social vigente. Sustenta-se ainda como tese secundária que as prerrogativas teóricometodológicas acerca do Estado determinaram e ainda determinam proposições estratégicas específicas aos movimentos revolucionários. Assim, compreende-se que a centralidade depositada na fórmula da “conquista do Estado” e/ou “construção de um Estado proletário” acabou por fazer esmaecer as iniciativas autônomas dos trabalhadores, de maneira a lhes tolher sua potencialidade emancipatória.

The thesis defended here is that these councils have intrinsic revolutionary potential, since they outcome wage labor and the production of capital - through the socialization of the means of production - and the state as a structure of domination proper to the sociometabolic system of capital and essential to its reproduction. Denoting them as “non-state”, therefore, the thesis defended is that the proletarian councils are the dialectical antithesis of the state - and not a specific form of it - and, therefore, they are endowed with an effective disruptive potentiality with the metabolism in force. It is still held as a secondary thesis that the theoretical and methodological prerogatives about the state have determined and still determine specific strategic propositions to the revolutionary movements. Thus, it is understood that the centrality deposited in the formula of the “conquest of the state” and/or “construction of a proletarian state” ended up mitigating the workers’ autonomous initiatives, in order to block their emancipatory potentiality. In this way, this work is structured in such a way as to present the main constitutive characteristics of proletarian and state councils, evidencing the relations that are established between these spheres within the scope of transition theory and historical experiences. / El objeto de esta investigación son los Consejos proletarios: formas organizativas de las cuales las clases trabajadoras lanzan mano en situaciones de ascenso revolucionario y de intensificación de las contradicciones clasistas, con miras a ejercer la autogestión política y productiva.

The aim of our thesis is to provide an insight into self-managing organizations (SMOs), particularly referencing holacratic and teal organizations, and connecting them with the consequent innovative process. Global markets are changing rapidly, and competition is increasing, as the pressure on companies to adapt to these fast-paced changes. There is an increasing demand for constant innovative idea flows to keep up with the dynamics of the global market economy. New flexible management tools are needed in order to maintain balance. Starting from the premise that SMO tools are part of the response to the dynamics of enterprises, we aim to outline how SMOs operate. We also analyze the innovative process within SMOs and try to answer whether innovation is inherently connected to holacratic and teal organizations. This will be achieved by conducting interviews on case subjects using qualitative analysis and elaborating on the findings to form a discussion. As this is a revolutionary new phenomenon that shifts the management's responsibility from one person to the entire organization, few companies as of yet have adopted this strategy. This adds limitations to our study but opens the door for further research.

Problem: With an increasing aging Canadian population with chronic diseases such as arthritis, there is an urgent need for health professionals to promote evidence-based arthritis self-management support to their patients. Objective: The overall objective of this thesis was to determine the feasibility of using Facebook as a dissemination strategy for an online evidence-based arthritis self-management program, People Getting a Grip on Arthritis (PGrip), by arthritis health professionals with their patients. Methods: To identify the current evidence and knowledge gaps in regards to the use of innovative dissemination strategies for clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) and social media use for chronic disease self-management among health professionals, two systematic reviews of the literature were conducted. The first systematic review identified research on health professionals’ perceived usability and practice behaviour change of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for the dissemination of CPGs. The second identified research on the perceived usability of social media by health professionals to facilitate chronic disease self-management with their patients. To engage potential knowledge users in the research process, an advisory committee consisting of six arthritis health professional users (two registered nurses, two physiotherapists, and two occupational therapists) was convened to identify barriers and facilitators of using and accessing Facebook as a dissemination strategy for PGrip. The advisory committee was also convened to identify how the PGrip Facebook group page could be tailored to improve usability among arthritis health professionals. A feasibility study of 78 arthritis health professionals was then conducted to determine the feasibility of using Facebook as a dissemination strategy for PGrip among arthritis health professionals to their patients. To guide future research, a protocol for a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) was developed that will compare Facebook with an educational website and email to determine which strategy will demonstrate greater perceived usefulness among arthritis health professionals to disseminate the PGrip program with their patients. Results: The findings of the first systematic review revealed that health professionals’ perceived usability and practice behaviour change varies by type of ICT and the heterogeneity and paucity of properly conducted studies did not allow for a clear comparison between studies. The second systematic review revealed that health professionals perceived discussion forums and collaborative projects to be useful social media platforms to facilitate chronic disease self-management with patients. The feasibility study suggested that a Facebook group page can be used as a dissemination strategy for the PGrip program by arthritis health professionals. The Facebook group page was perceived to be usable with patients after two weeks and three months in regards its ease of use and high output quality. Conclusion: The overall research of this thesis provides advanced knowledge on how a Facebook group page as a dissemination strategy for an evidence-based self-management program for patients is perceived by arthritis health professionals. Facebook may provide arthritis health professionals with an additional option of how to best share evidence-based information to allow their patients to successfully self-manage their arthritis. A future pilot RCT is needed to determine whether Facebook is superior to other ICT intervention in regards its perceived usefulness among arthritis health professionals to disseminate the PGrip program with their patients.

Such enterprises, which are organized in the form of commercial companies or civil self-managed, have brought important individual and collective benefits, including job creation and income. However, the main feature of this type of development is related to its sustainability, or the possibility of maintaining a perennial way as an alternative to the conventional production, because they must not only meet the current needs of their members, but also future ones. But the relations of these enterprises with their own socio-labor relations are different from conventional business and thus the sustainability of these enterprises should be treated differently when compared to conventional developments due to its peculiarities in relation the form of production organization and labor relations. Therefore, this thesis aims to analyze the sustainability of projects, considering the specifics of these, through the theoretical approach to the subject and study of two cases arising from new developments bankrupt textile companies, and noted that such enterprises have different results in terms of performance production and revenues, despite serving in the same market and are subject to the same level playing field (so the market conditions do not represent a factor that directly influences the sustainability of self-management enterprises). In both there was a lack of adoption of a new technical base to produce specific self-management, as well as an educational policy aimed at selfmanagement principles and production organized collectively by the workers. It is also notable in these developments the absence of effective relations of partnership with other cooperative enterprises or joint production chain. As for the elements perceived differently in the projects, there are links in one of participation, cooperation, democracy and accountability in the domestic sphere of production and labor relations, which are perceived poorly in another venture, which has hurt the organization production and work. We concluded that the elements that make up the principles of self-managed production, the effective participation of its members in the cooperative management of a democratic, cooperation in the production environment and collective responsibility over the fate of the enterprise are explanatory factors of sustainability in self managed enterprises. / Os empreendimentos autogestionários têm representado no Brasil, principalmente nas décadas de 80 e 90, uma alternativa aos trabalhadores que perderam seus postos em decorrência do fechamento de empresas neste período, resultado das novas políticas de comércio exterior adotadas pelo governo federal. Tais empreendimentos, que se organizam sob a forma de sociedades comerciais ou civis autogeridas, vêm trazendo importantes benefícios individuais e coletivos, como geração de emprego e renda. Porém, o principal aspecto deste tipo de empreendimento está relacionado à sua sustentabilidade, ou à possibilidade de ser manter de forma perene como uma alternativa ao modo de produção convencional, pois devem não somente atender às necessidades atuais de seus cooperados, mas também as futuras. Contudo, as relações destes empreendimentos com os próprios sócios-trabalhadores são diferentes das relações das empresas convencionais e, desta forma, a sustentabilidade destes empreendimentos deve ser tratada de maneira diferente, quando comparada aos empreendimentos convencionais, devido às suas peculiaridades em relação à forma de organização da produção e relações de trabalho. Esta tese objetivou analisar a sustentabilidade dos empreendimentos, considerando as especificidades destes, por meio da abordagem teórica sobre o tema e estudo de dois casos de empreendimentos surgidos de empresas têxteis falidas, sendo observado que tais empreendimentos apresentam resultados distintos em termos de desempenho da produção e das receitas, apesar de atuarem no mesmo mercado e estarem sujeitos às mesmas condições de concorrência (portanto, as condições de mercado não representam um fator que influencia diretamente a sustentabilidade dos empreendimentos autogestionários). Em ambos os casos, observou-se a inexistência da adoção de uma nova base técnica específica para a produção autogestionário, bem como de uma política educacional voltada aos princípios autogestionário e da produção organizada coletivamente pelos trabalhadores. Também percebeu-se, nestes empreendimentos, a inexistência de relações efetivas de parceria com outros empreendimentos cooperativos ou cadeia produtiva solidária. Quanto aos elementos percebidos de forma diferente nos empreendimentos, existem, em um deles, relações de participação, cooperação, democracia e responsabilidade no âmbito interno da produção e nas relações de trabalho, que são percebidos de forma precária em outro empreendimento, o que tem prejudicado a organização da produção e do trabalho. Concluiu-se que dos elementos que compõem os princípios da produção autogestionária, a participação efetiva de seus membros na gestão da cooperativa de forma democrática, a cooperação no ambiente da produção e a responsabilidade coletiva sobre o destino do empreendimento são fatores explicativos da sustentabilidade em empreendimentos autogestionários.

In its focus, the research comes to perceive the self-management, in its praxeological dynamics and its utopian perspective, seeing it through the praxis experienced in the wishes of those who dream another society. The research locus was done in seven rural settlements related to the MST Landless Rural Workers' Movement, PB, Brazil. The research started from the settlers experiences and organizational initiatives, pointing out their potentialities and limitations, as an educational process, consisting of a praxis that proposes to help in the economical and political emancipation of these collective subjects. The relevance of this study lies in trying to demonstrate the reality of the collective organization in these rural settlements, stressing the subjects management, how the self-management principle permeates their daily activities and practices. The theoretical-methodological approach of this study is characterized as a Qualitative Research, being led by the historical-dialectical method, and having as a theoretical support, the socialist thinkers approaches, and the Popular Education fundamentals. In its exposition, it presents theoretical and empirical data that confirm the thesis, in which it defends that there is an educational praxis in the workers collective organization that leads them to the self-management exercise. Throughout the research and its considerations, it can be perceived to exist in the self-management essence a praxis and an utopia that present themselves in various historical moments in socialist experiences, in their projects of organization of the working class, and in the raising of consciousness and autonomy of men and women. Self-management as history in the making characterizes by being negation to any centralization action, be it of economical or social order, thus having in the broad participation of people in the decision-making process its central focus / Autogestão é o objeto de interesse desta pesquisa de tese que tem como principal objetivo compreender o exercício da autogestão em sua trajetória histórica e na práxis educativa nos processos de organização coletiva entre trabalhadores(as). No seu enfoque, a pesquisa passa a perceber a autogestão, na sua dinâmica praxiológica e na sua perspectiva utópica, enxergando-a através da práxis vivenciada nos desejos daqueles(as) que sonham outra sociedade. O lócus da pesquisa foi realizado em sete assentamentos rurais vinculados ao Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra MST / PB, Brasil. A pesquisa partiu das experiências e iniciativas organizativas dos assentados, destacando suas potencialidades e limitações, enquanto processo educativo, constituidor de uma práxis que se propõe a ajudar na emancipação econômica e política desses sujeitos coletivos. A relevância deste estudo está na tentativa de demonstrar a realidade de organização coletiva nesses assentamentos rurais, enfatizando a gestão dos sujeitos e, como o princípio da autogestão permeia suas atividades e práticas diárias. A abordagem teórica-metodológica deste estudo se caracteriza como uma Pesquisa Qualitativa, sendo conduzido pelo método histórico-dialético, e tendo como aporte teórico, as abordagens de pensadores socialistas, e dos fundamentos da Educação Popular. Na sua exposição, apresenta dados teóricos e empíricos que confirmam a tese, na qual defende que existe uma práxis educativa na organização coletiva dos trabalhadores que os conduz ao exercício da autogestão. Através da pesquisa e nas suas considerações, pode-se perceber existir na essência da autogestão uma práxis e uma utopia que se apresentam em vários momentos históricos nas experiências socialistas, nos seus projetos de organização da classe trabalhadora, e na elevação da consciência e autonomia de mulheres e homens. A autogestão enquanto devir histórico se caracteriza por ser a negação a qualquer conduta de centralização, seja de ordem econômica ou social, portanto tem na ampla participação das pessoas nos processos decisórios, seu foco central

Tendo surgido e se desenvolvido no movimento operário em meados do século XIX, na perspectiva de uma sociedade mais justa e igualitária, com base socialista, essa forma de organização do trabalho tem sido adotada (e adaptada) pelo movimento da Economia Solidária após o contexto de crise instaurado por volta da década de 1970. O caráter voluntário da adesão aos empreendimentos coletivos fica comprometido em contextos de crise econômica, nos quais as possibilidades de ocupação são reduzidas. Deste modo, grande parte das pessoas acaba ingressando nos empreendimentos alheias ao seu projeto ideológico. A proposta desta pesquisa é sistematizar informações acerca da rotatividade de sócios em uma cooperativa de trabalho, com dez anos de existência, 327 sócios e 271 ex-sócios. A falta de um quadro estável de sócios pode conferir ao empreendimento um caráter de trabalho paliativo e lhe trazer uma série de problemas. Por meio de análises documentais e de entrevistas com atuais e ex-cooperados, analisou-se variáveis que poderiam estar relacionadas ao alto índice de rotatividade de sócios. O pouco tempo de permanência como sócios na cooperativa e a preferência pelo trabalho com relação de emprego representaram uma influência significativa na questão da alta rotatividade. Com base na pesquisa, foram ainda indicados alguns fatores que poderiam auxiliar na permanência do sócio na cooperativa por um tempo prolongado, durante o qual possa se envolver mais ativamente e absorver melhor a proposta do empreendimento / Abstract: It is observed, on the current context of capitalist society, the manifestation of a growing scale of cooperatives enterprises based on self-management. Emerged and developed on labour movement in the mid-nineteenth century, on a perspective of fairest and more egalitarian society, with socialist base, this kind of working organization has been adopted (and adapted) by the movement of Social Economy after the crises circumstance around the decade of 1970. The voluntary character of adhesion to collective enterprises becomes implicated on economics' crises context, on which the possibilities of occupations are reduced. Therefore, a large number of people join enterprises inattentive to their ideological project. The purpose of this research is to systematize information about the rotating of members on a worker cooperative, which has ten years of existence, 327 members and 271 ex-members. The lack of a stable working staff members can confer to the cooperative enterprise a palliative working character, bringing to it series of problems. Through documental analyses and interview with the actual and ex-members, it was observed variables that could be related to the high rate of rotating of members. The little time of permanence as members in a cooperative and the preference to the jobs which have an employ bond represent a significant influence on the rotating of members. According to the research, it was indicated some factors that could support the permanence of the members on the enterprises for a prolonged period of time, in which they could get more actively involved and absorb in a better way the proposal of the enterprises / Mestre
